SCOTTISH MP Jim Sheridan last night called for an independent inquiry to investigate bigotry and bias within the SFA.
The Labour MP for Paisley and Renfrewshire North will write to Hampden bosses this morning in a bid to kick-start a process of transparency amongst the power-brokers of our game.
A host of controversial referee flashpoints, the dismissal of Hugh Dallas and the Dougie McDonald Whistlegate affair have dominated headlines - sparking a backlash from Grade One officials who went on strike last weekend.
Now Sheridan wants to shine a light on the SFA to see if they have any case to answer. He said: "This letter to the SFA will inform them that the committee will be looking into football governance throughout the United Kingdom in the next couple of months.
"I would like the SFA to express their views on the conspiracy and the way we deal with referees.
"People I speak to within the game are fed up with every week bringing a new conspiracy and another referee being at fault. It has to be brought to an end.
"I want a fresh pair of eyes to have a close look at the whole structure and see how it operates and advise how it should be operating.
"Bias and bigotry within the organisation has to be gotten rid of for the good of the game.
"Things really have to be clarified as it just cannot continue the way we are at the moment by witnessing refereeing of bias every Celtic lose."
